Ryanair is a business not a service!  A business has to make a profit, otherwise it's no longer a business.
I used a flight last winter from Luton to Reus, there was 5 passengers on it. My ticket cost about €40.
There was 4 steward/esses plus two pilots on board.
Definitely no profit involved there!
There is always Barcelona or Valencia with a cheap train journey, even cheaper if you are over 60
Otherwise drive over. Just see how much that costs you.............
